Thanks Andrew. I did file a bug report on April 3rd, <rdar://

In my experience, java code completion *did* work with Xcode 2.5,
when I had just Xcode 2.5 installed. I do not currently have 2.5
installed, only 3.0. I am extremely reluctant to install 2.5
because I at least have subversion working with Xcode 3.0 and don't
want to do anything to mess that up.
Fwiw, in the past, Xcode had problems doing code completion inside
java static methods (though it worked fine in 2.5, iirc). So that's
why, in my bug report, I mentioned that I created a new method and
code completion still did not work.
If possible, I would avoid using Xcode for Java development. Xcode
is great for C/Obj-C, but the Java support feels like an
afterthought. A few of the bugs that I've filed on Java:
4961655 - Xcode shows warning dialog while opening Java project
4961617 - Xcode hangs while editing Java source
4430362 - CHUD 4.3.2 doesn't like being unable to find java source
4430338 - CHUD 4.3.2 doesn't show line-level samples for Java
inlined methods
4383469 - CHUD 4.2.3 can't automatically locate Java source files
These 3 aren't actually related to Xcode at all. They are
specifically about Shark for Java. The 1st is a minor UI quirk that
has no functional impact. The other 2 have workarounds and stem
mainly from the interface that the JVM provides for inspection of the
VM's state. Many of the things that were needed to improve Shark for
Java were delivered with Java 5 and Shark for Java in CHUD 4.5.0 was
updated to use many of them.
These remain open in Apple's database, although I haven't checked
them lately. I use Eclipse when I'm writing Java, which has many
nice Java-centric features, including excellent code completion.
